Jointing

To create a realistic effect, it is recommended thst the surface to be coated be divided into symmetrical or free form segments using Megatreat Tile Tape.  If a coloured joint is required, coat the entire surface with Megatreat Base Coat Primer white tinted to desired colour and allow to cure for a minimum of 16 hours.

Application

First stir Liquid Sandstone to a creamy consistency.

Coverage

1 sq metre per litre - one coat

Horizontal Surfaces

Starting at the outside edge, pour a small amount of Megatreat Liquid Limestone onto the surface and spread with a steel laying trowel evenly to small areas at a time.  Finish off with long even strokes, which produces the desired layer effect.  Then move to the next section making sure to maintain a wet edge.

Faux Finish

To createn different coloured highlights: (1) Dilute 1 part tinter or coloured oxide to 3 - 4 parts water into a small hand sprayer. (2) Randomly spray a small amount of colourant over the freshly troweled section, or to the face of the trowel, then re-trowel the area to blend in colour.

Walls

With dry or porous surfaces, slightly dampen the surface with water prior to application.  Apply with a steel laying trowel starting at the top and work down at a 900mm - 1200mm wide section at a time.  If vertical panels are required, apply Megatreat Tile Tape, top to bottom at the desired width.

Drying Time

4 - 8 hours dependiong on the temperature.  Do not apply below 10 degress celsius or above 32 degress celsius.  Pull up tape after 6 to 12 hours and no longer than 18 hours.  Allow 24 hours before subject to foot or vehicular traffic.

Sealing

Horizontal Surface, if subject to foot traffic, seal with 2 coats of Megatreat 2000 Natural Sealer.

Cleanup

Clean all equipment with fresh water immediatly after use.
